A 20-year-old man was murdered and two others were injured in Chembur after a group of people including a teenager attacked them
The clash between the two groups arose after one objected to another man talking to his girlfriend.

According to the police official, the incident occurred in Cheeta Camp in Chembur late Monday night.

An official of Trombay police said, "The deceased was identified as Malik Sheikh while the two injured were identified as Mohammad Arman and Haider Khan."

He added, "Kaif Shah, Abdul Kadir Kanan and Amin Sheikh were arrested while a 17-year-old youth was also apprehended."

"Shah had an affair with a woman and he had objected in the past when one Afzal, Malik Sheikh's friend, spoke to her," the police official said.

On Monday Shah had a spat with Afzal over the issue.

"The dispute escalated and the minor accused allegedly attacked Malik with a sharp weapon who died on the spot," added the official.

Police arrested the four accused under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections including 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder) and sections related to rioting.

Further investigation was underway.
